Known as Mu Ren Zhuang, the iconic wooden post with hands have been used for centuries as hand-to-hand fight training wooden dummies and are believed to have originated with the Shaolin temple monks who practiced early kung fu. Enter the RXT-1 or RefleX Trainer-1, developed by an army special force veteran and a modern training partner that you can practice and spar with intelligently.

Could soldiers silently communicate using brain signals in the future? | C4ISRNET

What if measuring signals and thoroughly interpreting as valid messages can get to the point where machine provided feedback to the soldier’s brains allow them to take corrective action before something takes place? Research is now ongoing on how the brain and computers can effectively communicate viably through a capability that could protect the health of a war fighter. Aiming towards developing a system of communication where soldiers can silently talk via a computer in the field and with advancements in battle-ready machine-human interface using brain signals, this is likely just a few decades away.
